Good luck to all of you in the striking area. My folks are in Enterprise, AL, so I am feeling for you all too! We are hunkering down up here in Atlanta too - we are predicted to get tropical force winds and flooding. Lots of trees will fall! They don't call it Ivan the Terrible for nothing. Hang in there in Mobile! Gees, this season is trying to make up for the last 40 years all at once. It is almost enough to make you believe Osama has a hurricane machine, and knows how to use it!

Good luck to you guys. I got my ass kicked by Francis down here in south FL. Lost power for over a week and it sucked majorally. Best wishes to you guys.

You've gotta come back here, haslinger, if only to feel all the love in this thread...
Seriously, amigo, I'm asking the Big Guy to look after y'all there. Get in touch with us again ASAP.

Godspeed to Mobile and Pensacola. I'm a ways east and we're still having sustained 40 mph winds here. I'd hate to think how bad it's been for our neighbors to the west.

Keep your heads down and keep flying,

Hey thanks everybody...we are alive...mobile got lucky and dodged the storm sort of...however, my best friend was trapped in P'cola and of course that was devestated. Tree fell onto the roof crushing a corner of the house, then rolled off and crushed both his and his grandfather's cars. Power is still out for a majority of mobile, but again PCOLA took a nasty hit. With everything that happend its been a very surreal couple of days. Work has power and obviously internet. I've been working a good bit clearing lots and the like.

Again THANKS EVERYBODY THINGS COULD HAVE GOTTEN WORSE BUT YOUR PRAYERS AND GOOD WILL SAVED OUR ASSES [AND SOME ASSETS TOO].

IF ANYONE ELSE HAS SUSTAINED DAMAGES LET ME KNOW I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO DO WHATEVER YOU NEED FOR HELP.

THANKS AGAIN


HAS

Glad to hear that you are okay Haslinger. Sorry to hear about your friend. Hope his insurance adjuster gets out there quick and helps them get things back to normal soon.
